![]() What are the signs and symptoms of dementia? A person’s symptoms can vary depending on the type. There are several different forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Many people live into their 90s and beyond without any signs of dementia. Dementia ranges in severity from the mildest stage, when it is just beginning to affect a person's functioning, to the most severe stage, when the person must depend completely on others for basic activities of living.ĭementia is more common as people grow older (about one-third of all people age 85 or older may have some form of dementia) but it is not a normal part of aging. Some people with dementia cannot control their emotions, and their personalities may change. Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning - thinking, remembering, and reasoning - to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities.
